Community Wellness Survey

October 2020 marked the third year we have sent out our Community Wellness Survey to all of our tenants. The survey asks about basic needs, health, neighborhood safety, work and career goals, and level of community involvement. Results of this years survey were of course influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic as our tenants have been greatly and widely impacted. Still, the results give us a look at how our tenants have felt during these unprecedented times. Over 50% of our residents responded. The following issues jumped off the page for us.

• Basic Needs
  This is perhaps the most concerning result as we saw an increase in the number of tenants that are not able to meet their basic needs. Money, access to transportation, and identifying resources continue to be barriers to tenants meeting their basic needs such as food, toiletries, utilities, and rent.
• Neighborhood Safety
  This was a positive result showing that overall residents are feeling safer in their communities than they had in previous years.
• Sense of Community
  Survey results that tenants are feeling less connected to their neighbors and community than previously. This wasn't surprising as anxiety and feelings of isolation have increased due to the pandemic. We are planning a lot of outdoor social activities this spring, summer, and fall to help people reconnect.
  
  

We continue to use survey results to adjust current programs and to design new programming. We also compile the data and use it in a performance measurement system to determine if our programming is moving the needle on the issues that are important to the families we serve.
